The iOS 17.4 update is finally released to the public.
Now, this isn’t any exaggeration — but iOS 17.4 could be in the Top-Five biggest minor updates in the history of iOS. Why?
Though Apple dislikes it, in order to comply with EU’s mandated laws and acts, the company had to act lax to allow third-party App Stores and Browser Engines in iOS.
This is an epic move.
Also, the update brings in over 16 new emojis, highest-ever security to iMessage, and various new changes to Podcasts, Wallet, and CarPlay, which make your iPhone never like before.
